Angel

Heartthrob - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Angel has just returned and given Cordelia her necklace, watch Cordelia's hands; they keep changing position in each shot. In one shot she is trying to put the necklace on, in the next shot she appears to have given up and brings her hands down and bundles the necklace in her hand. Then when the shot changes to behind her, she is trying to fasten the necklace behind her neck again. This happens a few times during this scene.

Carpe Noctem - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When the gang rescues Angel and returns him to his normal form towards the end of the episode, Cordelia shocks him unconscious with a taser and he falls to the floor, lying on his front. But when Fred whacks him on the head with her baseball bat, he is suddenly lying on his back.

THGhost

Offspring - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: While waiting for Holtz to awake, Sahjhan is able to hold a bowl of mystical powder, and smoke a cigarette. But subsequent episodes establish that, on Earth, Sahjahn is incorporeal, and thus he shouldn't be able to perform those actions.

Dad - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Lorne covertly warns Angel that the hotel is bugged, he places a note in Angel's pocket with his hand on Angel's shoulder. When Wolfram and Hart watch the video feed later, the hand that was on Angel's shoulder is now in front of Angel's chest. (00:22:50 - 00:37:00)

Dad - S3-E10

Plot hole: When Angel is being pursued by the Lilliad demons, he is holding his son Connor and is talking to him in the car. Later on it is revealed that he is in fact holding a teddy bear with a bomb attached to it. If it wasn't his son, why was he talking to it? It couldn't be to fool the Lilliad demons because they wouldn't be able to hear him, as they were in separate vehicles.

THGhost

Couplet - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: When the demon Angel and Groo are chasing crashes through a wall, the resulting hole lets in enough sunlight to force Angel into the shadows. A few shots later, Wesley notices Angel standing in the entrance to the hole. Only a few moments have passed, so Angel shouldn't be able to stand where he is. (00:15:20 - 00:16:20)

Sleep Tight - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: Right before Holtz and his men arrive at the hotel, Angel arranges three of Connor's toys in his cot. One of them is a teddy bear which he places in the middle of the cot. But once Holtz and his men arrive, the teddy bear is suddenly at the far end of the cot resting on the pillow.

Sleep Tight - S3-E16

Revealing mistake: When Angel is seen gulping the blood from the cup (right before Lorne tells Angel that Connor needs some papa-love) you can see this is a special-effects cup (it's like one of those freezer mugs, where there's a layer of liquid on the outside). If Angel were really drinking out of the cup the way it's shown, he would have blood all over his lips and it would be running down his chin.

Forgiving - S3-E17

Factual error: Wesley has his throat cut, deeply enough to at least nick the artery (based on the amount of blood) and the windpipe (based on his difficulties breathing and talking later on), yet he somehow survives being left alone in the park for over 24 hours. In reality, he would have been dead long before then.

A New World - S3-E20

Revealing mistake: The first stake that Conner fires from his stake cannon (Obviously CGI) doesn't seem to emerge properly from the barrel of the cannon, it emerges out of thin air from the side. (00:01:25)

A New World - S3-E20

Revealing mistake: The Axe that Groo throws at Conner at the start of the episode (Obviously CGI) doesn't match the movements of his hand, it leaves his hand before he actually throws it. (00:01:40)

City Of - S1-E1

Angel: Doyle, I don't want to share my feelings, I don't want to open up. I want to find the guy that killed Tina, and I want to look him in the eye.
Doyle: Then what?
Angel: Then, I'm going to share my feelings.

Trivia: Angel's human name was Liam. "Liam" is an Irish form of "William", so basically, Angel and Spike have the same name.

Show generally

Question: In the opening credits, just before the shot of Phantom Dennis, is the shot of the girl crying Darla? What episode is that from?

Answer: Nope, it's not Darla - that's Rachel from the episode "In The Dark", the third episode of the show (the one with Spike's magnificent opening monologue).
